The Tories get in anyway and all of this infighting about tactical voting achieves nothing.

Achievement unlocked! Breaking the supercomputer twice in one week!

That is depressingly hilarious.

Wow, that's really interesting. Thanks very much for the information, I shall take a look.

I do wish governments would take more money from billionaires one way or another ...

Ooh interesting! Can you speak further? It's unlikely any repercussions would happen though right?

Unless of course, he'd miraculously solved the scraping problem incredibly quickly haha!

Absolutely - the DDOSing was hilarious. Talk about billionaires testing in production! I think what really got to me was the fact he continued the lie and was increasing the rate limits gradually when he probably would have figured out what was going on by then.

And then I am going to shamelessly plug my colleague's YouTube channel, because he's great at explaining these things: https://youtube.com/@ChrisPattisonCosmo

There will be more updated versions of that plot around somewhere ... but the LISA experiment is very cool! Especially how difficult it is to calculate accurate timings between the spacecraft.

Ah cool! Well, the LIGO site is good, but I am biased 😅 https://www.ligo.caltech.edu/page/gravitational-waves

I like this plot about different detector sensitivities (The Gravitational Spectrum): https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/a-wrinkle-in-space-time-confirms-einsteins-gravitation

Apologies that it's not the IPTA related technical info that was relevant for this week's announcement: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Pulsar_Timing_Array

Hello fellow Xan! Through my work I have learned lots about the detection and analysis of GWs in the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration. If you know python, here's some good notebooks on how one of the pipelines works.

How come I can come up with a better idea when he's supposed to be some business genius?
